This is the complete results of meeting 12 of the 13 meet schedule of the 2022 Diamond League: the Allianz Meeting van Damme, honoring the 1976 Montreal double medalist Ivo van Damme!
My highlights;
- Erriyon Knighton continues to impress; the 19-year-old is tough as nails and will continue to develop over the furlong.
- Fun to see three Borlees in a race in front of 30,000 Belgian fans.
- Jake Wightman is a classic 800m/1,500m runner, like Mr. Cram and Mr. Coe, and Mr. Ovett. I think he can run 1:42. no pressure, Jake!
- Grant Foster has one less AR than the late Steve Prefontaine. His 5,000m against silver medalist Jacob Krop was full of blood and guts.
- Ernest Obiena defeated Mondo Duplantis, and the world did not end. Mondo needs a little wake-up call, and he took it like the pro he is!
- Shericka Jackson won a nail-biter over Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, but do not fret; SAFP is not retiring or taking up the steeplechase, she had a sore toe.
- Ciara Mageean ran a PB and NR and showed that the Irish star is one tough athlete. She also upset Laura Muir!
- Yaroslava Mahuchikh went 2.05m! that is high!
- Kara Winger waited 12 years to set a new PB and AR in her javelin of 68.11m!
